    Best way to respond to ill manners, especially when involving a discount is to bite your toungue or count to ten or as I do, with extreme kindness.
    If a cheque could be the Easter delay but you sound on top of things. You are in the system, so just takes time.

    Yes, I'm having trouble getting my discount from BG too.

    I called last Thursday and was first told the discount had been applied (no it hasn't!), then that it would be done by the 31st.

    I pointed out that as it was a bank holiday and the 31st is a Sunday, the letter should have been sent out that day.

    It was a painful conversation, and I got no where. I'm currently on hold with them now to find out what's going on :mad:
